Overview of Global Battery Requirements
The EU Battery Directive requires Member States to set up systems for separate treatment of all batteries and accumulators. It also sets design requirements for these types of batteries.
Producers are required to register and report on the quantities of batteries placed on the market.
In North America and Asia, many juridictions have unique battery requirements. These include heavy metals limits, testing requirements, registration and reporting requirements, and labeling & information requirements.
Throughout the world, many countries impose fees or taxes on batteries.
